1000 Gifts

Did you ever sing that hymn "Count Your Blessings."
Count Your Blessings, name them one by one. . . .

Well, that is what I have started to do since the beginning of the year. My intention has been to each night before heading for bed make a list of 5 things I am thankful to God for, that day. And I feel like now is the time to start joining in on a holy experience and blog some of those things.

1. that all this STUFF we have been sorting through and giving away is a physical, tangible evidence of just how much God has blessed us in the past. We actually have this stuff to give.

2. the safe arrivals of a friend's baby on new years day and finally getting to see that baby this week at church.

3. safety in this icy, slippy weather.

4. a walk in the beauty of a snowy nature reserve.

5. Beautiful new pictures on my walls.

6. Soup, lots and lots of soup.

7. Central heating, sweaters and hot drinks.

8. A reminder to put god at the centre of an upcoming trip.

9. Wonderful bargains.

10. Fresh Start Mondays.
